For a woman of reproductive age any medical appointment is a pre-conception visit and an opportunity to address pre-existing conditions that affect pregnancy and the maternal-fetal dyad. However many neurologic conditions are rarely seen in pregnancy and limited experience and knowledge may prevent the team from developing a shared approach to these complex conditions during pregnancy. Neurological Diseases and Pregnancy: A Coordinated Care Model for Best Management brings together experts across the disciplines of maternal fetal medicine neurology obstetrics family planning genetics anesthesia psychiatry neurosurgery and lactation to provide a multi-disciplinary comprehensive protocol-driven guide on best care for patients with neurologic disease before during and after pregnancy. Each chapter provides a detailed care map on each unique disorder and discusses the use of neurological medications during pregnancy and in lactation. Through this multi-disciplinary approach clinicians can navigate the complexities of preconception and pregnancy care and help to optimize outcomes for the mother-infant dyad. Beyond pregnancy care this volume further serves as a resource on best care for the life-course of women affected by neurologic disease including pre-pregnancy planning genetic counseling contraception and sexuality in neurologic disease as well as post-partum depression and menopausal neurologic changes.
